We vacation in corpus twice a year- always book a Vrbo or bnb. We loved the pool here! It was so refreshing, the room was perfect sized and clean. Location was great!! I recommend
We stayed here with our 4,7 & 8 year old and they enjoyed the pools more than the beach. Very fun atmosphere and close to Whitecap beach, we chose to drive there. We had everything we needed in the room. Will definitely come back!

Overall the stay was great. The only issue we had was that the bathroom was not extremely clean. We found the previous guest’s hair all over the bathroom and especially on the shower wall.
This condo is crisp, clean and beachy. Great location and easy access to beaches, food and drink. We had 2 teen girls and the hallway bunks were great with privacy due to the master bedroom having a door. Kitchen had all the items we needed and the walk in shower was so roomy for my amputee husband. Definitely a 10 rating for our trip!

Reviewer Comments:
Cute unit. A/C was frustrating during night time hours. Cleanliness rated as a B+. Best part of the unit was the shower. Need to engineer the unit with the extra shower space to accept a dishwasher and easier access to the washer/dryer.Very disappointed with the amount of 4 wheelers that were allowed on the property. Golf carts were fine, but the 4 wheelers were a complete disruption.

Great location, very nice and clean room, big bathroom. Easy check in and out.
We fished, swam, & went to the beach. It has great 9 pm noise requirements, security guard making it safe. A great pool area too. The activities were fun & fishing in the private dock was terrific.

Overall great condo. Location is fabulous. Close the the beach and the pool is quiet and was never crowded. Kitchen was well stocked. We had a maintenance issue upon arrival, but the maintenance team had it promptly fixed. The refrigerator smells awful And could really use some blackout drapes in the master. Other than those small things, it was great!
My family loved our weekend get away here!! The room was the perfect size for my family of four. Perfect set up and very comfortable especially since we spent more time than we planned in the room due to the rain! We loved that there were two different pools and a game room which we took full advantage of during the rain. We loved the little activities that were provided as well such as happy hour and s’mores! We had a little trouble with our check in code to get in the room, but the staff responded so fast and were very friendly! We highly recommended Aruba Bay, and we will definitely be back!
Everything was perfect! It was clean and beautiful. I love how the layout allows every room to have a pool view. The resort had family activities planned for each night that we enjoyed taking part in. The staff was helpful and friendly and quick to respond when we needed help with our WiFi connection. We will definitely be back!
Close to padre island (2 blocks easy walk). Tremendous communication with property manager before/during/after to make sure everything was running smoothly. Very easy reservation
We loved our stay, the amenities were fantastic, the check-in process was super easy, and the location was great. We had lots of communication from the property management and they made the stay very seamless. We would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed our short stay at Aruba Bay Resort. Our trip to the island was to gather with family on Saturday so other than the late evening pool time, we didn’t have much opportunity to take in all the amenities of the resort but would love to stay again on our next trip down.
Saturday evening pool, music on the deck and a fun, cool vibe was our favorite part of the stay!
